Retired General Jack Keane, the former Vice Chief of Staff of the
Army, says that President Obama knew of Osama Bin Laden's hideout since
the Summer of 2010. He refused to act on the intelligence for nine
months until May 2011 when OBL was ultimately brought to justice by the
NAVY SEALs.
What was the hold up? According to Keane, Obama wanted to be certain
that Bin Laden was really in the compound and that he wanted a picture.

The longer we survey the field, the more likely our target would feel they are being watched and ultimately flee.
We do not know how strong the evidence was that pin-pointed Bin Laden
to the Pakistan compound in the Summer of 2010. It probably made sense
to be a bit more certain but why did it take nine (9) months for Obama
to feel certain enough to take him out?

If this information is true, then it takes away the boldness of the
decision to get OBL. It also raises the question as to whether or not
Obama's decision to get OBL was politically motivated.
